Summer '17: Scrubs got paid
And Pop thinks Trump is a dumbass? Has the old fart looked in the mirror lately? Good grief, this is about as dumb a move anybody could make. I thought Pau was doing us a favor and instead he, Pop and the other goofball, RC Buford, put the screws to Julianna Holt, Tim Duncan and the Spurs fan base. This makes absolutely no sense at all. Seriously, if Pop thinks President Trump is out to lunch, this makes Pop and RC look really, really ignorant. RC has been overrated for a long time and Pop has acted the past year or so like he is totally out to lunch. Pop and RC both act and sound like imbeciles when a reporter puts a mic in front of their mouths. They actually make Trump come across as a political Einstein. Personally the one I feel bad for is Timmy. The guy has always put the Spurs organization first (after his kids) and sacrificed a lot of salary to help keep the Spurs viable and wham, bam, thank you mam, Pop gives Tim one of a middle finger. Something is wrong with Pop. I think Dementia or some other old folks disease has started eating his brain. And today confirms there ain't no more gray matter between Pop's ears. If there isn't more to this story like Lebron, Durant, Steph, Westbrook and Anthony Davis are all coming to play for the Spurs if Pop gives an old, out of date, semi washed up center $48,000,000.00 for 3 years. Julianna ought to fire Pop and RC first thing Tuesday morning and go hire some middle school coach to take Pop's place. , hire my sorry ass for Pop's $6,000,000.00 salary and I'll show the NBA that a guy off the street can screw things up just as good as a coach and GM that the media thinks are the cat's meow.

This is the worst contract given this offseason. All the people that ed at tony or Manu deals well they've always been here and had accomplishments. This ghost of pau gasol is meh at offense, and a liability on defense, he made David lee look like a 1st team defender and we got Pau for 3 more years!?! This is a worse move than the mod(s) that unban apalisoc
Nah don't worrry about Kyle. At 24 next offseason he's going to be too young to qualify for this loyalty . He's going to be gone, asks the Spurs to withdraw their QO after RC hardballs him like he did JSimms and makes 0 offer. Unknown what happens with Forbes too but he's going to have to be impactful this season to even stay in the league, that shooting percentage needs to go way up. never mind him.
Only one I do see signing back is Davis.. he could fit Bonner's shoes nicely. Enjoy him for 12 seasons coming right up. Along with Tony until he's 40. Maybe Manu feels like rescuing Pop and signs again to play until he's 42.
he's 26 years old and has gotten the max the only time he was a FA
what loyalty?
if anything these contracts show that the spurs will be willing to overpay him even after he declines years from now. he's not leaving tbh
If all he cares about is money then yeah, the Spurs are prolly safe. However, if he cares about winning as much as he claims (and his work ethic shows), he looks at these poor decisions while the rest of the West improves and shakes his head.he's 26 years old and has gotten the max the only time he was a FA

I do expect kawhi for a long time. Probably too long, Spurs will prolly offer him a 5 year super max deal at 40
If they're lucky, they can trade Kawhi to Boston and get a good return
This talk from people on Twitter about opening up a max slot without Aldridge and Green is just funny. Lose the second and third best starters to get a max player, because max players will want to pick up that slack.
It's a joke.
It's over.
theres not much you can do to compete with GSW right now
that being said the Pau/Mills signings were dog
Doesn't mean they shouldn't try; they owe it to Kawhi. You never know what could happen with injuries/Raymond stupidity/egos. Losing out on CP0 was prolly a good thing but the Spurs could've made much better moves than throwing money at players we know can't stay on the floor with GS.
Pretty much this. I can't see him turning down the super max when the spurs offer it to him. That's way too much money for most guys to pass up. It was evident when Demarcus Cousins didn't want to get traded from the Kings despite him hating playing for them simply because he didn't want to lose the super max.he's 26 years old and has gotten the max the only time he was a FA
what loyalty?

This is just farked. The plan was 18. WTF is this? Better be something in the works.
Thank you for the discount, MVPau...
It is obvious with Pau's quick opt out and the Green trade rumors that team was planning to go for Chris Paul, But when the rockets thing went so fast, they got caught with their pants down. Could have been worse, Green could have been gone too (for nothing) to open up space.
The Spurs waited on Manu, then signed Pau to what they'd agreed to if Paul didn't sign. Spurs gambled and lost.
Still, the ST doomsayers always want Spurs to "go for it". Well, these things happen when you do and the stars don't align. That's why Spurs normal conservative, prudent off seasons usually are best in the long run even if they're boring.
The guys on here ing about Pau's new deal are also the one's who that the Spurs don't try to make waves in free agency. Hilarious.
It's only bad for 2 years , and max money is still easy to come by. Worse comes to worse, they could waive and stretch. You're not finding a better player with what they had left this year or bargain next. Big names will dominate next year .
They also have half the team on rookie contracts. Theyre fine financially going forward, and it's a good look to show the front office can be trusted . Announced when it would make headlines.
Not nearly as bad as some make it out to be. Not necessarily good though
Wow Bill. Can I make that my sig.
Do what you like.Wow Bill. Can I make that my sig.
Wow. They must really think they have something in Gasol to give him another year at $16M guaranteed. Declining a sign-and-trade of Simmons for Chandler makes more sense now. I still think Aldridge and Green could be traded during the year, but going into the season with basically the same team as last year is an interesting choice. Guess we'll see if they can replicate last year's regular season success.
+1
Busters around here want to have their cake and eat it too.
Well I thought Pau signing was too much, but they promised him next season's paycheck plus more money to opt out. So next season's salary isn't a big deal. The 2nd year is a little bit of an ouch, but I'm assuming they believe his passing and rebounding and even his defense will help against everyone but Golden State, which is probably true. By his third year, a partial guaranteed contract is highly tradable and most likely what they do knowing they showed loyalty and will have no problem trading him as a salary dump.
He better be a ing 3 point shooting machine when we play the teams that matter
